Last Episode of American Horror Story Was Straight Out of The X-Files

Vulture: We expect American Horror Story to pull from all kinds of sources. It's a genre satire as much as it's a genre piece, and Ryan Murphy never met anything he didn't want to put his own stamp on. But last night's episode, I Am Anne Frank Pt. 2, didn't just tip its hat to the obvious horror movies and sixties films — it was straight out of The X-Files. One X-File in particular: Season three's "Paper Clip."
